The Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort sits right on the edge of Willits, making it easy to access both the resort’s activities and the larger Mendocino County attractions. You’ll find tent sites and RV spots scattered throughout the property, along with cabins and more unique stays like a tree house and caboose—though dogs can’t bunk in those latter options. They’re fine in tents and RVs though, which gives you flexibility depending on how you like to camp.

The resort itself keeps everyone occupied. There’s a water-spray park for hot days, a petting zoo, mini-golf, fishing, and a dedicated dog playground where your dog can actually run around. You’ll also find a pool, hot tub, volleyball court, and bike rentals if you want to explore the surrounding area. They organize group activities too, and WiFi is available throughout the property if you need to stay connected.

Location-wise, you’re positioned well for day trips. Avenue of the Giants and the Skunk Train are both within reasonable driving distance, and there are other Mendocino County spots to explore. The setting among redwoods is genuinely nice—not overdeveloped, with enough shade and greenery that it feels like you’ve actually gotten away.

Dogs need to stay leashed when they’re off your site, and you’ll need to clean up after yours. The resort is award-winning and does live up to family-friendly billing—it’s the kind of place where you might see everything from young kids to multigenerational groups. It works particularly well if you have a mix of people in your group with different interests, since there’s enough going on that everyone finds something. Getting there is straightforward: take Highway 20 West out of Willits toward Fort Bragg, and you’ll see the entrance on your right after about 1.5 miles, right at a curve.
